12/24 - Christmas Eve

I feel like I already celebrated Christmas with our family dinner on Sunday, so today and tomorrow feel more like a bonus day to enjoy the last bits of Christmas.

My friends and I went to Christkindle market today. In the case I leave Chicago next year, I feel like I needed to go as a way to say a goodbye. I want to Bryant Park last year, but haven’t gone to Christkindle in a while. We mainly just go for the hot chocolate. We went in the day time and it’s a bit different, at night, everything just feels blurred but it does feel a bit more Christmasy. In the day, you can see things more better and just feels more open. It was freezing outside but we still had fun. Lol my unhinged personality came out today, so I was having the time of my life. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just too extra or if that’s genuinely just me.

After the market, we tried finding a place to eat but everything was so closed so we got back in the car and drove to pequods. Luckily they were open and as always their pizza smacked. That’s the only place I will ever get deep dish from.

While we were at pequod’s the craziest thing happened. I found out of my guy friend’s was there at the same time and literally took a picture at the exact same spot. The crazy thing about this guy is that we matched on hinge almost 4.5 years ago but just became friends. We call each other up and do quarterly check-ins here and there but we’ve never met in person. I decided that when we run into each other we just will. The craziest part is we always go to the same spots and the same time but have never ran into each other. Today we were sooo close. He could literally be in the background of one of my pictures. But I’m constantly shook by how the universe works. Almost feel like I have an invisible string theory going on with this guy even as a friend.

Came home and literally was too exhausted to do anything, so just layer in bed but managed to do everything on my routine, except my steps.

I’m starting to get a bit lazy about my routine and I’m not liking it, so need to get back on top of it. Just having a busy past couple of weeks set things back. But got this!

8/10 - exhausted but fun day

Intuition - We’ll actually run into each other when we’re supposed to enter in each other’s lives officially. I wonder if he has another purpose in my life or if it’s just to be a pen pal friend.
